Anand Rajaraman co-invented Amazon Mechanical Turk and was among the earliest angel investors in Facebook in 2005, giving him rare experience building major tech platforms and spotting breakout companies before they become obvious. He pioneered the "more data beats better algorithms" philosophy through his Stanford teaching and influential Datawocky blog, and uses data pipelines to discover promising startups globally while maintaining deep ties to Indian entrepreneurship and co-owning the San Francisco Unicorns cricket team.
